1st Edition of EP available as a download from HERE!


Follow us on TWITTER! AND ON FACEBOOK!

















The Ambience Affair is comprised of a Vocalist/Guitarist Jamie Clarke,and a drummer called Marc Gallagher.


Jamie had been playing and writing for a while up until one year ago when he met Marc in the music shop they work in.Marc came to one of his solo gigs and they then decided to form the band.


The songs are generally comprised by layering looped guitars,keyboards and vocals combining them with driving rhythms.


We've supported Villagers,Clues,Fight Like Apes & Ham Sandwich among others and are going to release our second EP in January.








We're just trying to make music that is as good as the songs we listen to. Trying to forge out that unique sound is something that we will always strive for.


If you have listened to our tracks above,bought/downloaded our first EP,watched the videos or come to any of our gigs,thank you.  








Expect to hear plenty more from us....

New free Herv digital album out now on Cock Rock Disco!

Hi there,

Just a quick note to let you know that I have a new free digital release out
now on Cock Rock Disco if you would like to take a listen.

Heres what label owner Jason Forrest / Dj Donna Summer had to say!

Herv: "Not figuratively, but literally in love with Music..."

"Ireland's sexiest laptopper lands his latest mini-album on Cock Rock Disco!
"Not figuratively, but literally in love with Music..." is a rave inspired
experimental break-acid-core thrill ride of endless ideas and possibilities.
Herv packs a lot into the 8 tracks; melodies evolve and twist, beats
fracture and congeal and synths collide! It's exciting! But that's not all,
it comes with 2 cd designs and a freakin A0 sized poster! Whoa! Can't beat
the value in that!"

The album is available to download from here:

http://www.cockrockdisco.com/CRD2/albumpages/Crockp3-019.html

Artwork by Lisa Crowne (www.myspace.com/iheartwillies)

Kind regards

Ewan Herv.
